If May's NPD figures show that the Wii out sold the PS3 and the 360 by a huge amount even with GTA IV available, what will the Wii haters say now ?

What game will the PS3 fans say "Just wait until (fill in the blank comes out)" ?

etc......

First, why are you using a big bold font?

Secondly, why are you acting like a fanboy?

When did people started thinking that a game can stop a system from selling? It's made to boost the own system and not decrease the sales of the other, and of course, bring a great game for those who already have a PS3. No matter how good the game is, it won't stop a console from selling.

I dont think Wii is really taking sales away from 360 or PS3. If the Wii disappeared, I don't think sales of the other two would suddenly jump. I think Wii appeals to both the "hard core" pie and the "casual" pie, while PS3 and 360 are only appealing to the "hard core" pie. IMO

If that's considered "Wii bashing", then sheep should stop bringing up sales all the time, because it's mostly games like that that have so much appeal to the general public.

Nothing will stop the Wii. It has the casual gaming market cornered which is a much larger base then hardcore gamers. I'm pretty sure that most people who consider themselves to be hardcore have a next gen. console along with their Wii.

of course, ever since the Wii started to utterly dominate the ps3 and 360, there's no need to care about it anymore seeing as they are fighting for a distant 2nd place.

notice how there are many threads about whether the ps3 outsells the 360 or vice versa when npd numbers come out.

I think it is in my opinion not much but I can see a parent with doe (money) going to Best Buy to buy her 14 year old a console and looks at her options and sees the PS3 at $400, 360 at $300 and the wii at $250 and the sales rep "how old is your child" mom"14yr old but will be 15 in next month" Sales rep "yea he is still young" (cuz sales rep dont know jack) "get a wii its cheaper and more games and everyone is buying one" .

Yes, it's a lot like PC graphics. Everyone knows they're superior, but people still want to say that Uncharted looks a hair better than Gears of War, and ignore Crysis completely. It always has been a fight for second place.

this is because wii sale number even if they are high dont seem to impress 3rd party dev and they dont make wii the lead platform.

It's considered Wii bashing because this guy is trying to make the Wii seem like it has no games when he obviously hasn't done his homework.

And yes, I'm getting tired of Sheep bringing up sales. They give Nintendo fans a bad name.

Funny, Haven't seen a Wii in best buy in months. You'd probably(maybe not) be really suprised that a majority of people who purchase(or have games purchased for them) are 12-16... It personally bring s a smile to my face when I deny a kid from buying GTA4. :)

This is another one of those rinse and repeat subjects.

Either shouting "Sales" or shouting "No Games" We all already know sales don't matter and that the Wii does have great video games.

The only game that can stop the Wii was Halo 3; thus, Bungie's next game might do that as well.

GTA is targeted toward mature audiences. The Wii is targeted toward kids and a casual audience.

Easy. As somebody metioned before, Grand Theft Auto is a casual franchise. Great game, but it's still a casual franchise.

Here's a tip that might shock you: just because it's brown and has violence doesn't mean it's hardcore. Also, primary colors don't make a game casual. Fire Emblem is not casual. In fact, it's 50 times more hardcore than Grand Theft Auto.

Again, Grand Theft Auto is great, but it's still as casual as Guitar Hero and Madden. Deal with it.
